Five millennia of suffering. A pilgrimage steeped in violence and terror. 17-year-old Sara Holcomb, raised from birth to protect humanity from a malevolent god, convinces three close friends to escort her on a perilous journey to an otherworldly cathedral of bone and blood. Wracked with guilt at bringing people she holds dear to a hell worse than she could have imagined, she may have to choose between absolution for herself—or for everyone else. Will Sara’s quest bring redemption or only a false promise of salvation?
